Mirror Bracket, Inside Rear View

REMOVAL
1. Peel vinyl off the windshield and discard.

NOTE: If bracket vinyl pad remains on windshield, apply low heat from Rotunda Heat Gun 107-R0301 or equivalent until the vinyl softens.

INSTALLATION
1. Make sure glass, inside rear view mirror bracket and adhesive kit (Rearview Mirror Adhesive D9AZ-19554-CA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G176-A) are at least at room temperature: 18.3-23.9°C (65-75°F).
2. Locate and mark mirror mounting bracket location on the outside surface of windshield.
3. Thoroughly clean bonding surfaces of glass and bracket to remove old adhesive. Use mild abrasive cleaner on glass and fine sandpaper on bracket to lightly roughen surface. Wipe clean with alcohol moistened cloth.
4. Crush accelerator vial (part of Rearview Mirror Adhesive D9AZ-19554-CA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G 176-A) and apply accelerator to bonding surface of bracket and windshield. Let dry for three minutes.
5. Apply two drops of Rearview Mirror Adhesive D9AZ-19554-CA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESB-M2G176-A to the mounting surface of the bracket. Using a clean toothpick or wooden match, quickly spread the adhesive evenly over the mounting surface of the bracket.
6. Quickly position the mounting bracket on the windshield. The 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) circular depression in the bracket must be toward the inside of the passenger compartment. Press the bracket firmly against the windshield for one minute.
7. Allow bond to set for five minutes. Remove any excess bonding material from the windshield with an alcohol dampened cloth.
